Physical is worse. If they go out of their way to sleep with someone else while supposedly loving me then it would hurt more.

Men care more about their partner fucking someone else over caring about them. Women care more about their partner caring about someone else over fucking them.
Emotional, sex is just sex it's not the holy grail our parents told us it was

Physical cause if no feelings are involved then this could have been avoided, right? I see giving up to temptation as just a way to upset me indeed...

Both are terrible, but if it's a physical affair with a black man then I would probably put my s/o to sleep

Why do you have to mention black man? you would be ok if she's having an affair with another man as long as he's not black?
If you're in love with someone else while you're with me, that's a problem, and that's what an emotional affair is. Gay people with a wife and kids would be people particularly susceptible to emotional affairs, even if things dont get physical. He would love his wife as a friend but not as a partner in marriage.
It's a pretty common term, not sure why you reacted that way instead of adding something useful to the conversation!
In that case, an appropriate response would be to say just that, rather than attacking thr verbiage the asker used. The point of an opinion -based website is to offer insight, not attack.
Verbiage is a tricky thing. It's obviously not an attack, but it also wasn't constructive criticism or a clarifying question. Challenge may have been a better word, but challenge could also imply that you were being a constructive critic, which you weren't.
No, that would be dumb. I just hope that maybe instead of wasting your time and others' time in the future, you'll keep unhelpful comments to yourself. Of course, that's not in my control and you seem like you may be a bit too defensive to listen to me (I haven't been terribly kind), but that's the goal here
It has all the components of a physical affair, without it being physical. Sneaking around, doing things behind your back, neglecting you, not having you as their number one priority. Think of all the emotional things you'd only do with a partner. Like telling them you love them, go on cute dates, form a deeper bond/connection, share intimate details about yourself etc. A relationship is not just about sex, it's about the connection too. So they're having that connection with someone else, behind your back, all while you're thinking you're their number one priority.

A physical fear it can also turn into an emotional affair
In an emotional affair, you still have strings attached afterwards.

Both is cheating no matter if it physical or emotional
I say emotional cause your falling for the other person which can become physical.
Never looked at it that way so true
Both are awful.
I agree either way you violated that sacred Bond
It’s whatever your partner thinks is worse
how can both be worse in a 2 option question?
Because sometimes people couldnt choose just one, and they can explain their reasoning by sharing their opinion.
Both are bad in my opinion
One that includes both attributes.
Lol an emotional affair? Are we just making terms up now?
Seems like everybody else know what it is.
If you're in love with someone else while you're with me, that's a problem, and that's what an emotional affair is.

@hhues i second that, couldnt say it better myself
Probably because I don't consider giving someone attention to be any form of an affair. It's a pre-cursor to one.
In that case, an appropriate response would be to say just that, rather than attacking thr verbiage the asker used. The point of an opinion -based website is to offer insight, not attack.
@hhues really, that's an attack to you? lol
I think she meant questioning the verbiage. Next time you unsure of the terms, it doesn't hurt to ask nicely.
Verbiage is a tricky thing. It's obviously not an attack, but it also wasn't constructive criticism or a clarifying question. Challenge may have been a better word, but challenge could also imply that you were being a constructive critic, which you weren't.
@hhues hhues would you feel better if i apologized?
No, that would be dumb. I just hope that maybe instead of wasting your time and others' time in the future, you'll keep unhelpful comments to yourself. Of course, that's not in my control and you seem like you may be a bit too defensive to listen to me (I haven't been terribly kind), but that's the goal here
@hhues that's good because you weren'y going to get it lol. I was going to say the same thing about you i think you need a hug from someone.
I like to consider myself a realist, and your offer was obviously not genuine haha.
And I dont need a hug, I just need to get myself some damn sleep. GAG is usually my activity of choice when I can't fall asleep.

How does one have an emotional affair?
It has all the components of a physical affair, without it being physical. Sneaking around, doing things behind your back, neglecting you, not having you as their number one priority. Think of all the emotional things you'd only do with a partner. Like telling them you love them, go on cute dates, form a deeper bond/connection, share intimate details about yourself etc. A relationship is not just about sex, it's about the connection too. So they're having that connection with someone else, behind your back, all while you're thinking you're their number one priority.
For example internet affairs - long distance relationships also count.
Both suck and I would hate them for either one.
To me emotional is a lot worse.
A criminal affair is the worst
LOL! It is about cheating either getting involved with someone else emotionally or physically.
